Enio Edward "Ed" Conti (February 15, 1913 – May 22, 2005) was a professional American football guard in the National Football League for five seasons for the Philadelphia Eagles.{{Cite web |title=Enio Conti Stats, Height, Weight, Position, Draft, College |url=https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/C/ContEn20.htm |access-date=2023-03-25 |website=Pro-Football-Reference.com |language=en}} He was also a member of the "Steagles", a team that was the result of a temporary merger between the Eagles and Pittsburgh Steelers due to the league-wide manning shortages in 1943 brought on by World War II.
Conti was named head coach of the Bethlehem Bulldogs, a Bethlehem, Pennsylvania-based team in the American Football League, the Eagles' minor league affiliate during their inaugural campaign in 1946. He was replaced by former Lehigh University head coach Leo Prendergast in 1947, and accepted a position as head coach of the football team at Bangor High School in Bangor, Pennsylvania.[https://www.newspapers.com/article/york-daily-record-enio-ed-conti-named/139342870/ "Conti to Teach,"] York Daily Record, July 10, 1947; p. 3.
